Different day

I spent my 3rd evening off today by borrowing a car from a friend who stayed in camp and visiting another city some 50km away, Komotini. The weather today was excellent (in contrast with the previous days when we had cold and continuous rain). SO i took the trip and visited a few soldier friends over there.

Komotini was really beautiful although i stayed only for 5-6 hours and didn't see much of it. Half the population of the city/town is christian and half is muslim and there's a different character to the coty as opposed to most of the other ones in my country. In addition to that, the city has a few active university departments, which means trere are a lot of young people around and places to have fun of any kind.

I hope to have the chance in my next 2 months here to visit a few places I haven't seen before, since in the beginning of May I will be getting my 2nd transfer (hopefully somewhere closer to home). For now I will just try to get through the next 10 days with no exit from the camp.
